ABLE ATTORNEYS.
The case promises 10 be one Of the most
famous in the annals of West Virginia.
The attorneys on both side are at the very
head of the profession. Col. NcSweeney
leading for the prosecution and Col. Moore
leading the defense, are two Of the most
eminent criminal lawyers Of the country.
They are assisted by an eminent array Of
counsel already given, who are closely con-
testing every inch Of ground. II Baker is
convicted it will be because no artifice or
plan of defense known to the most able
criminal lawyers is able 10 save him.
The extreme heat to day bore hard upon
the great mass crowded into the court
room. Baker began to look pale and hag-
gard. The proceedings OF the Court seemed
to interest him little and at the adjourn
ment of Court friend approached and gave
him cigar. when smile lit up his face
that showed he had been stranger TO any
sympathy. The sentiment OF the people
is almost unanimous against him, and he
seems to feel the burden Of general hate
and suspicion. 1t is reported that his law
yers have refused to let him talk. Hitherto
he has been very free to converse with all
corners, hut he now refuses 10 make any
statements whatever.

An uply oomplexion made Nellie a fripht

An ugly complexion made Nellie fright
Her face was all pimply and red,
Though her features were good, and her eyes
were bright,
What plain girl is Nellie they said.
But now, as by magic, PLAIN Nellie has grown
As fair as an artists bright dream;
Her face is as sweet as flower new blown,
Her cheeks are like peaches and cream.
As Nellie walks ont in the fair morning light,
Her beauty attracts every eye,
And as for the people who called her fright
Why, Nellie is handsome; they cry.
And the reason of the change is that
Nellie took DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, which regulated her liver,
cleared her complexion, made her blood
pure, her breath sweet her face fair and
rosy, and removed the defects that had OBJ
scured her beauty. Sold by druggists.
